Anyone else with unexplained bleeding or spotting?

SO.....I had spotting on and off since I found out I was pregnant, they found a Subchronic bleed on week 8 ultrasound. I stopeed spotting for awhile then it started up again and this week, 11 weeks the ultrasound showed no bleeding in the uterus and the clot was gone. I'm still having spotting now today again for no reason, my husband and I haven't had sex in a month, I'm really careful and I'm wondering if anyone else has this? Now I'm thinking maybe I have an infection down there or another UTI. I sort of feel like I shouldn't be spotting for no reason. I'm also so sick of calling my doctor to tell him about my spotting. Does anyone know of any other reason for spotting or bleeding? The baby looked great with a good heartbeat so I pretty sure everything is ok there...ugh so frusterated!

Sorry you are experiencing this. I had sort of the same thing happen, started spotting around 7 weeks, ultrasound showed baby is fine, but showed an area where they were wondering if their had been another baby their that just did not grow right, they could not see a baby, just an area that looked like their may have been, and showed about 2-3 clots, so I had been spotting for weeks, until now, I am not anymore, but it may show back up with me, it will be gone for like 5 days and then reappear. I have read where women just have alot of spotting all through their pregnancy, and as long as their is no bad pain with it, it should be fine, still very frustrating though, hang in their.

I have had "unexplained" bleeding and/or spotting since about week 5 of this pregnancy (I'm now 11w3d). The only explanation my doctor offers is that my cervix is so much more sensitive and has all sorts of new blood vessels on it, which can bleed. I have had 4 ultrasounds done (due to my freaking out about continually spotting/bleeding!), and all show a perfectly healthy pregnancy taking place in there. The doctor tells me those new blood vessels can bleed all they want to, because they don't affect the baby at all. Generally, as long as you aren't having any cramping, huge clots, or a continual flow of blood, it's nothing to get too worried about.

TMI alert: I also see bright red vaginal bleeding after BM's quite often, and the doctor says this is because the BM itself can put pressure on the cervix as it passes...thus causing some bleeding. ?!? Who knew?!? lol

Basically, my doctor just keeps reassuring me that without the cramping/clotting, some bleeding can be perfectly normal throughout pregnancy and they don't really have a good explanation for it. Hope this helps you. However, if you're really freaked out, go to your doctor! Obviously, that's what I have done, and there's no shame in it. That's what they are there for...

Wow....thank you!!!! That makes total sense in my case too b/c I am fine other than all that spotting and after BM yes me too...my doctor did say my cervix looked a little red and irritated...thank you so much I knew there had to be at least a few people who understood what was happening :)

Thank youMeg

This isn't going to be much help except to re-assure you that you're not the only one. I'm 8w3d and just got back from the dr after heavy bleeding. I'm having cramping and clotting though. The first explanation of symptoms to my midwife made her think miscarriage which was what I thought I was experiencing. An ultra sound shows a healthy pregnancy. First time I saw the baby's heart beat. They think it will go away after a couple of days and I'm to take it easy. Thanks for sharing your symptoms, it's really helped me.

Thursday before last I started bleeding a lot, it was like a medium period flow. They never told me for sure what it was. There didn't appear to be any bleeding from the placenta or the baby after a US. The dr just told me that sometimes you can bust a blood vessel on your cervix, and that could have been it. There are a lot of reasons to spot and bleed during pregnancy (most not bad). Just hang in there and keep in touch with your doctor. Hopefully it will resolve itself :).

hi. i am having the same issues you have had. I was 7 weeks pregnant and started bleeding. My drs took me out of work due to having a subchorionic bleed. I have had ultrasounds every week and they say that the blood clot is gone and that my baby is fine. I have seen and heard the heartbeat. I am now 11 weeks pregnant and started having some dark brown bleeding. My dr. said its normal but I am going in tomorrow for my 6th ultrasound since finding out I was pregnant. Was your bleeding bright red or dark brown and do you know if it means anything different? Thanks

I had some spotting from around 4-7 weeks. We had an ultrasound to see if the little baby was growing normally and it seems like it was. Then the spotting stopped until week 10... when I was going pee I noticed the toilet was full of blood and the toilet paper was saturated. We raced to the emergency room, I was in tears. The doctor had a look and my cervix was closed with no tissue in sight (thank goodness!!) He said that my cervix was leaking and pooling in the back of my vagina and that it just suddenly emptied all at once. We had another ultrasound and got to see the little one flailing arms and legs. I was told to have 10 days of complete relaxation-virtually bedrest. A week later we got to hear the hearbeat!! I am still spotting brown blood and kind of crampy so I can't stop worrying all the time. This baby means soooo much to my fiance and I (he had a vasectomy reversal last February!!) atleast we know we can have children.I take some comfort in knowing that my Nana bled for the full 9 months that she was pregnant with my dad and he was a healthy baby.Very Best to you all!!

I also had bleeding in this pg. I had it at 21wks... I was at church and went to the restroom and there was blood all over the tp, and in the toilet. We raced to L+D where they checked my cervix, and ran all kinds of tests. Everything came back fine, and the baby sounded great. I had an u/s the next day, and they checked the placenta, cervix, and of course our baby, everything looked great! The OB on call at the hospital told me it could have been a burst capillary in my cervix (she said it happens pretty frequently), but my regular OB diagnosed me with Partial Placental Abruption and put me on bedrest for a week. I haven't had anymore bleeding or spotting, thanfully and I hope I don't until April!

I know this is coming several months late, but I wanted to write to let you know that it could have been something very simple as a burst capillary. I hope all has calmed down and you're now enjoying a very healthy pregnancy! :-)

I've been bleeding like a medium flow period since 6 weeks. Every now and then I'll have a day that it lessens to just spotting, but for the most part I bleed bright red blood every day!I'm now 9 weeks pregnant and after several ultrasounds was finally diagnosed with a subchorionic hematoma. My doctor said I could potentially bleed for the rest of the pregnancy. I have been on pelvic rest since week 6 and once diagnosed was told no exercise of any kind. It's very upsetting and worrisome, but after 5 ultrasounds, I'm told the baby is doing fine.

Hi there. My name is Sabrina. I am 37 years old and this is my 5th pregnancy. I have two healthy boys who are now, 14 and 12 years old and I had 2 miscarriages. And, YES!!! I am expecting again. With my 2 full term pregnancies I had no complications whatsoever, but this time, for the past 2 days I have been having spotting, it only happens once a day it seems and the blood is bright red and doesnt seem to be too heavy. My doctor examined me and said my cervix is closed but it looks reallt red and sore. She did say what the name os the infection is but I can't remember. Does this sound familiar to anyone else??? I had my first ultrasound today, I am 6 weeks, 5 days pregnant and my babys heartrate was 158 beats per minute.
